Peter Paul Rubens, 1611, The Death of Hippolytus, oil on copper, Fitzwilliam Museum



A great work of imagination. The reins and the gilded, crib-like chariot are vanity - this is no longer about men who are loose horses. Dominating the picture, head undergoing transformation, the horse looks furiously at Hippolytus and leads a fightback against the sea monster whom the horses are beginning to resemble. A simpleton has summoned the monster with a conch and the immature men flee, other than Hippolytus who is oblivious.




Forget the chariots and the loose horses, the Guineas are upon us
